OBITUARY..

Died, Sunday, January 23, at 2:20 O'Clock, IN.
Lydia Heberling, wife Of c. G. Huntley. The
deceased was born in Columbus county, Ohio,
June q, 1S49. She removed to Grant county,
Via, when child. She was married In Chi
cago, August IL, 1867, and lived in that city
till 1876 Then for few years she resided at
Bescobel, Wis. Mr.. Huntley soon after oh.
tanned position at Detroit with the Michigan
Central railroad, aud moved to that city, and
after remaining there three years moved to
Lake Superior, where Mr.. Huntley was con-
nected with the NJ, K. l. .. railroad, remaia-
ing there until 1883, when her health began to
fail and they removed back to Wisconsin and
from there came to Dakota in 1885. Mrs.
Huntley leaves an aged father aud mother, six
sisters and one brother to mourn the loss of
kind and loving daughter and sister. It was
the privilege of only two of her sisters to he
with her in her illness, Mrs. J. NJ. Gurnsey and
Mrs. B. T. Williams, Of Hope. Mrs. A. F.
Snow, of Boscobel, arrived too late to sec her
sister living.
Although Mrs. Huntley had not been we'll
for some tune, often complaining Of headache
and dizziness, physician was not called un-
I'll her first attack, Monday evening, December
27. He found her III conyulsion of au epepli-
forum character, which were checked. aud
she passed into deep sleep, from which she
awoke the next morning very weak and tired,
but having no consciousness of the state In
which she had been. About week lntervened
before the next attack, during which time she
suffered much from neuralgia pains in head
aud body. On the evening Of January 10 she
passed from apparently an easy sleep into a
third fit, which was checked rs the previous
ones in few hours, leaving hcr, however, in
a much weaker condition, and in almost con-
tinued pain. Her stomach became very weak,
so that scarcely anything could be borne by it.
On tho ovaning Of January IL she appeared
unusually well, but as the evening wore on be.
came restless aud nervous. She, however,
finally sank into a troubled sleep, from which
at O'Clock in the morning she passed into a
stupor, from which It was impossible to arouse
her. She remained in conlatose condition
until her death. Everything possible was done
to arouse her, but without avail. Electricity
applied showed paralysis OF left side Of body,
which disclosed the fact that there was pres
sure on the brain, caused, probably, by effuslon
into the ventricles Of the brain. The constant
pressure OF which caused the abolition of all
consciousness and sensation and paralysis Of
limbs.
A happy, cheerful, accomplishing disposi-
tion WAS the great characteristic of her life,
and this feature was not wanting In her last
sickness, as all who saw her will gladly testify.
| Always looking for tho comfort of others, and
| longing for the time to come when she might
make things more pleasant for those who sur
rounded her; generous, sympathetic and kind,
she forgot her own trials and cares in lending
| helping hand to others. She loved to gather
up the sunbeams scattered about her own path
In order to mako some other life brighter and
happier. In this beautiful way she has left
her friends and dear ones a legacy-a reminder
which should serve to make their own lives
nobler and better. .
The funeral services were held In tho Hope
church, and were conducted by Rev. T. w.
Thurston In solemn and impressive manner.
The hymns were selections made by the de-
ceased before her death, "Just as Am, With
out One Plea," and "Jesus Lover of Ny Soul.''
The bereaved husband and son have the
heartfelt sympathy Of the entire community in
their untimely loss.
